2. Simple way to make Nougat candy to celebrate Lunar New Year 2022
Now that we’ve prepared the ingredients, let’s get started right away:
Step 1: Create milk candy mixture: If you only have butter and milk powder, heat the butter until it melts and then add the milk powder and mix well. If you add marshmallow, you should boil the butter with the marshmallow first, stir clockwise until the mixture comes together, then add the milk powder and mix again. In case you want to make a diet cake that is less sweet, you can replace milk powder with flour to make Nougat cake instead of Nougat candy.
Step 2: Color the Nougat candy mixture: At this step, if you don’t want the cake to be white, you can add matcha powder, chocolate, honey, etc., mix together and cook until your creation has your favorite color.
Step 3: Add your favorite dried nuts or fruits and cook together: Before your Nougat milk candy mixture can harden, you must immediately add the nuts you want to make and simmer over low heat until the mixture hardens, then turn off the heat.

To make it easier to shape and make the surface of the Nougat candy more flat and smooth, you may need to use parchment paper and a rolling pin to create blocks for the Nougat candy.
